Inequality Paper Step 3: Develop Your Legal Reform!
For Inequality Paper Step 3, you will find 1 (one) Law Review Article (you will follow the instructions on the Find Law Reviews link to summarize, analyze and cite them.) (Graduate Students should find at least 2 Law Review Articles.) Law Reviews (or Law Journals) are journals where law scholars write their analyses of the law and arguments for how to change the law. Law Review Articles often are called normative articles because they argue how the law should change or how the law ought to be. For instance, a Law Review Article might explain the current state of campaign finance law and then make suggestions for how to reform that area of law. (In contrast, scientific articles like sociology articles are called empirical articles because they argue about how the world is or what processes are true in the world. For example, an empirical article asks what the causes and effects of various phenomena in the world are, like the causes and effects of inequality.)
You will use your chosen Law Review Article to build your reform argument in your Inequality Paper. Follow the instructions for using the Nexis Uni database on the Find Law Reviews page to find your Law Review Article. (NOTE: Keep in mind, scholarly law books also are acceptable sources, and those books sometimes will appear in your searches when you search for Law Review Articles. Academic scholarly law books typically are published at University book presses such as Oxford University Press, University of California Press, etc. NOTE: A scholarly law book is not just a book that gives you the laws like a statute book; instead, a scholarly law book explains the current state of the law and gives suggested reforms; it is like a Law Review Article, but longer).
